Mississippi House Speaker Philip Gunn said on Sunday that he tested positive for the novel coronavirus, as he had been in contact with a person, who had tested positive.

“I felt like I needed to go get myself tested just because I had been with this person and this morning was informed that I too have tested positive for COVID-19,” Gunn said in a video on Facebook.The official said he had planned self-quarantine and notified all people he had been in close contact with recently about his testing result.“We need to make sure that we do everything we can to get this past us as quickly as possible,” he said.

Gunn, the presiding officer of the 122-member House, has sometimes worn a mask and sometimes not, according to the Associated Press.
